(A) Appeals from any action, decision, ruling, judgment, or order of the Board of Adjustment may be taken by any person or persons, jointly or severally, aggrieved or any taxpayer or an officer, department, board, or bureau of the town to the County District Court by filing with the Town Clerk and with the Clerk of the Board of Adjustment, if there be one, within ten days a notice of appeal which notice shall specify the grounds of such appeal. No bond or deposit for costs shall be required for such appeal. Upon filing of the notice of appeal as herein provided, the said Board of Adjustment shall forthwith transmit to the Court papers constituting the records in the case together with the order de novo in the District Court. An appeal shall lie from the action of the District Court as in all other civil actions.
(B) An appeal to the District Court from the Board of Adjustment stays all proceedings in furtherance of the action appealed from (unless the Chairperson of the Board of Adjustment, from which the appeal is taken, certifies to the Court Clerk after the notice of appeal shall have been filed) that, by reason of facts stated in the certificate, a stay would, in his or her opinion, cause imminent peril to life or property. In such case, proceedings shall not be stayed otherwise than by a restraining order which may be granted by the District Court upon application or notice to the Building Officials or Planning Commission, as the case may be, and upon notice to the Chairperson of the Board of Adjustment from which the appeal is taken; upon due cause being shown, the Court may reverse or affirm, wholly or partly, or modify the decision brought up for review.
